Chapter 47 Speculation on the Origin of the Virus 2
He continued to review the report and found more information: "It mentions a 'special serum' that can control the direction of mutation, guiding the infected to gain specific abilities instead of turning into zombies."

"So this was all planned?" Su Wanqing was incredulous. "They deliberately created the virus and then selectively gave some people superpowers?"

"It seems so," Lu Zhao said, "but why?"

He opened the last file, the most heavily encrypted document, titled "Biological Reset Plan - Final Phase."

Most of the document has been deleted, leaving only a few fragmented messages:

".When all seven elemental abilities are gathered together, the energy will be enough to open a two-way channel for living things to reset the new world order."

"This information is too fragmentary," Lin Che said, "but it seems to be related to the 'Seven Deadly Sins Project' we discovered earlier."

"They need seven different elemental ability users," Xiao Ran analyzed, "perhaps for some kind of ritual or experiment."

"And it mentioned 'opening a channel,'" Su Wanqing said, "It sounds like they're going to open some kind of space channel."

Lu Zhao pondered for a moment: "Combining the previous information, I have a guess."

All three looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"The virus may not be the ultimate goal of this plan, but just a means," Lu Zhao said. "They release the virus to cause large-scale infection, while screening out a small number of people who can gain elemental abilities. Then they use the power of these people to open some kind of channel."

"Where does the passage lead to?" Su Wanqing asked.

"I don't know," Lu Zhao shook his head, "but the document mentions 'bidirectional biological reset' and 'new world order'. It sounds like it's going to completely change the existing world order."

"This is crazy," Xiao Ran said. "Who would have such ambition and resources?"

"I'm not sure," Lu Zhao said, "but the code name 'Shadow' is mentioned many times in the document. It might be the name of the organization behind the scenes."

Lin Che suddenly thought of something: "Wait, those mutant specimens we saw in the lab before, could they be testing different mutation directions?"

"It's very likely," Lu Zhao said, "that they might be trying to control the direction of the virus's mutation and create a specific type of variant."

"What about Xiao Yu?" Xiao Ran asked, his voice filled with worry. "What role does she play in this plan?"

Lu Zhao flipped through the files, searching for relevant information: "There's a record here about a 'special experimental subject', but there's no specific name."

The record states: "The special experimental subject has demonstrated unprecedented energy levels. It may be the most powerful of the seven elements. Control measures must be strengthened."

"That sounds like a description of Xiao Yu," Xiao Ran said, "She does display powerful energy."

"If that's the case," Su Wanqing said, "then they captured Xiao Yu not just for experiments, but because she is a key part of their plan."

"We need to stop this plan," Lin Che said firmly, "Whatever they want to do, it won't end well."

“But first, we need more information,” Lu Zhao said. “The data is not yet complete enough to give us a detailed understanding of the entire plan.”

"We should take this evidence back and let more people know," Su Wanqing suggested. "Maybe we can organize a larger-scale resistance."

"The question is, who will believe us?" Lu Zhao asked. "This data is incomplete, and many people will think it's just a conspiracy theory."

"Then what should we do?" Lin Che asked.

"Keep looking for evidence," Xiao Ran said, "We need more solid evidence to convince others."

"Xiao Ran is right," Lu Zhao said, "and we also need to find out the true identity of 'Shadow' and their next plan." "So, where do we go next?" Su Wanqing asked.

Lu Zhao thought for a moment: "According to this data, the final stage of the 'Biological Reset Plan' will be carried out in a facility called 'Zero Point'."

"Zero o'clock?" Lin Che repeated, "What is this place?"

"Not sure," Lu Zhao said, "but the document mentions it's located in the 'northern mountains' and is a highly classified research facility."

"Could the nuclear power plant we visited before be this 'Zero Point' facility?" Su Wanqing asked.

"No, it's just an outpost," Lu Zhao said. "According to the description, the 'Zero Point' facility is larger and has a higher level of security."

"Then we need to find the exact location of this facility," Xiao Ran said, "and then develop an infiltration plan."

“I can try to extract more information from this data,” Lu Zhao said. “Maybe I can find some coordinates or a map.”

"We need to prepare more supplies," Lin Che said. "If we want to infiltrate a highly secure facility, we need to be fully prepared."

"I still have quite a few weapons and medical supplies in my space," Su Wanqing said, "but I may need to replenish some special equipment."

"I have some military equipment I can use," Xiao Ran said, "including night vision goggles and communications equipment."

The four began to discuss the details of the infiltration plan, each contributing their expertise.

Lu Zhao was responsible for technical support, Xiao Ran was responsible for tactical planning, Lin Che was responsible for medical preparation, and Su Wanqing was responsible for material management.

"There's another question," Lin Che said suddenly, "If we are right, then each of us may be part of their plan."

"Are you saying that we might be some of the seven elements capable people?" Su Wanqing asked.

“It’s very likely,” Lin Che nodded. “We all have elemental abilities, and we’re all connected to the viral outbreak.”

"This means we might be walking into their trap," Xiao Ran said. "If they need seven elementalists, we're offering them to them."

"But we have no choice," Lu Zhao said. "If we don't stop them, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Lu Zhao is right," Su Wanqing said, "No matter how great the risk, we must try."

The four men fell into deep thought, each weighing the risks and responsibilities.

Finally, Xiao Ran broke the silence: "So, when do we take action?"

"More preparation is needed," Lu Zhao said, "at least two days to analyze the data and develop a detailed plan."

"Two days later," Su Wanqing nodded, "we will go find this 'Zero Point' facility and stop their plan."

"I agree," Lin Che said, "Before that, we need to learn as much as possible about the enemy and their plans."

Lu Zhao continued to analyze the data, hoping to find more clues.

The other three began to prepare the necessary equipment and supplies in preparation for the upcoming dangerous mission.
